Zack Snyder against all odds
Are Netflix subscribers contradictory or are Zack Snyder’s many detractors exaggerating? After a first part, Rebel Moon – Part 1: Daughter of Firereleased in December 2022 and already derided by critics, the sequel to Zack Snyder’s SF saga Rebel Moon – Part 2: The Slasher, broadcast by Netflix, suffers the same treatment. Or even worse. In fact, many members of the critical press and spectators expressed very negative opinions, judging this second part even worse than the first.
But Zack Snyder is used to seeing his films machine-gunned from all sides. Often rightly so, because his truly good ideas never come without real inconsistencies and errors of taste. But often also in excessive proportions, as if he were the director, given that it is the story of the famous Snyder Cut, had become as much the untouchable idol of one part of the public as the favorite punching bag of another. But as they say, “the dogs bark and the caravan passes“, Zack Snyder can always turn to Netflix ratings to heal, if he finds himself injured, the wounds of the violent blows received approximately Rebel Moon 2.
Rebel Moon 3: Zack Snyder (already) releases the first information, but it’s not won
The first 1 world…
In fact, at the end of its early days on Netflix, it’s been available ever since April 19th -, subscribers from all over the world are quite curious about it Rebel Moon – Part 2: The Slasher. The result, if his departure isn’t a triumph, is good enough to keep him going 1st place in the general ranking of the best Netflix films.
With 21.4 million EVC (full view equivalents), Rebel Moon 2 had a lower start than other Netflix “originals”. The Lady and the Dragon (35.3 million EVC) or During the flight (32.8 million), released earlier this year. The fact that this is a sequel, however, is double-edged.

…and Top 5 for the first film
The bad news is that it started out worse than Rebel Moon – Part 1: Daughter of Fire, with 2 million fewer EVCs. Proof that only a small part of the audience of the first film returned to discover the sequel. The good news is this Rebel Moon – Part 1: Daughter of Fire takes the opportunity to climb back into the world Top 10 and settle in 5th place – It is currently in the Top 3 in France.
We will have to wait several days before seeing the underlying trend that will mark its fate Rebel Moon – Part 2: The Slasher, and also that of this new science fiction universe to which Zack Snyder would like to add other films. In the absence of strong competition this week on Netflix, only with Nicky Larson as an “original” addition to the catalogue, Rebel Moon – Part 2: The Slasher should stay at the top of the charts and garner more viewing hours, while Rebel Moon – Part 1: Daughter of Fire you should still benefit from it.
Therefore, with an announced budget of $166 million for both films, the operation Rebel moon it could turn out to be as big a failure as expected…
